Alcohols Used as Gasoline Additives or Substitutes Are Often Called

Alcohols used as gasoline additives or substitutes are often called biofuels.Similar organic compounds derived from vegetable oils and fats are called biodiesels, which are another class of organic chemicals called esters.Qualitatively compare the combustion energy content kJ/g) of the four-carbon alcohol, butanol, with the energy content kJ/g) of the four-carbon ester, ethyl acetate.

A) Ethyl acetate has less energy/mass than butanol.
B) Ethyl acetate has more energy/mass than butanol.
C) The two compounds have roughly the same energy/mass.
D) These are not two different compounds and so must have the same energy/mass.
E) There is no basis for determining this without some form of enthalpy values.
